Who's your favourite for this years title ?

One of the seeds ? Or will it be a qualifier ?

We're almost down to the last 4, so let us know who you think will finally clinch it.

Ronnie is going up a gear, very important that Stevens wins the next frame.

by eirebilly Fri 04 May 2012, 4:40 pm

Matthew hasnt played badly, Ronnie has just been too good.

by **Kenny** Fri 04 May 2012, 4:41 pm

Ronnie seems quite focussed today , his shot choice has been good not to many risks

by The Special Juan Fri 04 May 2012, 4:42 pm

I think I could only question 1 of Matchu's shot choices but you're right, Ronnie has played well. He's found the extra gear when he needed it.

by Josiah Maiestas Fri 04 May 2012, 4:43 pm

Ronnie only seems to play his best when the balls are harder. Weird.

by **Kenny** Fri 04 May 2012, 4:44 pm

Its been a good match , would of been a good final .

by eirebilly Fri 04 May 2012, 4:44 pm

Ronnie has simply been superb and doesnt look like blobbing

by mystiroakey Fri 04 May 2012, 4:45 pm

Ronnie loves a second session- this is his third blistering one this champs

by The Special Juan Fri 04 May 2012, 4:45 pm

He'll just roll in behind the green.....

oh yeah?

Love him or hate him, this is superb to watch clap

by eirebilly Fri 04 May 2012, 4:48 pm

That was TSC taking the mickey out of Taylor MfC

by The Special Juan Fri 04 May 2012, 4:52 pm

Question: Would left handed Ronnie would be a top 16 player?

by Mad for Chelsea Fri 04 May 2012, 4:52 pm

probably not far away TSC I'd think.

by eirebilly Fri 04 May 2012, 4:53 pm

You know, i think he would TSC.

by mystiroakey Fri 04 May 2012, 4:53 pm

ronnie !!

by Mad for Chelsea Fri 04 May 2012, 4:53 pm

Ronnie misses the pink, Matchu has half a chance here...

by eirebilly Fri 04 May 2012, 4:55 pm

Its a very difficult chance but he is back in the frame somewhat

by CaledonianCraig Fri 04 May 2012, 4:56 pm

Stevens MUST win these last two frames for me. Anything less than 7-9 and I see no way back for him against Ronnie who is performing very solidly.

by **Kenny** Fri 04 May 2012, 4:58 pm

yes i agree

by The Special Juan Fri 04 May 2012, 4:58 pm

Was it Robidoux (spelling?) who moaned about Ronnie playing left handed and was then schooled?

by eirebilly Fri 04 May 2012, 4:58 pm

Ronnie with a 4 or 6 frame advantage going into tomorrow would be unbeatable.

by Mad for Chelsea Fri 04 May 2012, 4:59 pm

great pot

by eirebilly Fri 04 May 2012, 4:59 pm

That it was, he thought that it was very dis-respectful and at the time so did i. That was because nobody had ever done it before and nobody knew just how good he was left handed.

by Mad for Chelsea Fri 04 May 2012, 5:00 pm

oh bad luck Sad

by The Special Juan Fri 04 May 2012, 5:02 pm

It certainly helps. I think he could make the top 16. Not top 8 but maybe top 12.

by eirebilly Fri 04 May 2012, 5:04 pm

Too good from Ronnie clap

by Mad for Chelsea Fri 04 May 2012, 5:04 pm

superb snooker from Ronnie clap

Stevens knew he was in trouble straightaway.

by The Special Juan Fri 04 May 2012, 5:04 pm

Even Angles McManus would have struggled with that one.

by mystiroakey Fri 04 May 2012, 5:06 pm

Yep Robidoux is a bit of a dinosaur sometimes, ronnie took the game to another level and it was a breath of fresh air, at worst very exiting..

Go ronnie Smile

10-5 up

by CaledonianCraig Fri 04 May 2012, 5:06 pm

I can see no way back for Matthew now. To give himself the slenderest of chances he must at least win the last frame but I think even if he does his chances have gone. Ronnie leads 10-5.

by eirebilly Fri 04 May 2012, 5:07 pm

This is exactly what i feared would happen, Ronnie steam rolling Stevens this mini session.

by Josiah Maiestas Fri 04 May 2012, 5:07 pm

Next frame is do or die now, Matchu.. Rolling Eyes

by The Special Juan Fri 04 May 2012, 5:08 pm

Ronnie's break off shot has been very good the last 2 times.

by Mad for Chelsea Fri 04 May 2012, 5:10 pm

careless from Stevens, Ronnie is in.

by mystiroakey Fri 04 May 2012, 5:12 pm

if i remeber rightly robidoux actually petitioned to get ronnie banned when he beat him 10-3 but played one frame left handed- what a twonk lol

by eirebilly Fri 04 May 2012, 5:13 pm

Ronnie still hasnt had a bad session Shocked

This is over for Matthew Sad

by Josiah Maiestas Fri 04 May 2012, 5:13 pm

Its boring now. Just 1 player steamrolling another. In a semi final. Soon as the rest of Europe start sending players then we might have good semi finals!

by mystiroakey Fri 04 May 2012, 5:13 pm

he was shocking first session in this match- horrid play by him, but luckily for him stevens was worse

by The Special Juan Fri 04 May 2012, 5:14 pm

2nd paragraph of the career section.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Robidoux

by Mad for Chelsea Fri 04 May 2012, 5:14 pm

that's the trouble with Ronnie in this sort of form, you make one mistake, and the frame is gone. Ronnie at 94% pot success, considering how average he was yesterday that's pretty remarkable Shocked

by eirebilly Fri 04 May 2012, 5:16 pm

Its just class to watch Ronnie play like this, it really is enjoyable.
Feel sorry for Matthew but its been a superb performance.

by Josiah Maiestas Fri 04 May 2012, 5:16 pm

I'm going for 17-7 or 17-9 in the end. Such a poor match really. The other semi final is much more intriguing.

by mystiroakey Fri 04 May 2012, 5:16 pm

oh my god- so he refused to give up a frame when 43 behind and only pink and black left, and the guy didnt shake ronnies hand- and he wants ronnie banned- what a first rate plonker

by **Kenny** Fri 04 May 2012, 5:17 pm

You have to give him credit quality from Ronnie , Stevens really up against it

by Mad for Chelsea Fri 04 May 2012, 5:17 pm

it's only been a poor match if you're unable to enjoy watching Ronnie at his best. That was superb clap

by Guest Fri 04 May 2012, 5:19 pm

just managed to catch those last two frames, great stuff on show from Ronnie, but I'm feeling very Sad

for Stevens.

your doing it again pal, this session has been top rate- even stevens has played half decent- just not enough chances

by **Kenny** Fri 04 May 2012, 5:21 pm

Looks like you may have to lock another thread in the snooker section soon dreamer Very Happy

2 locked threads who would of thought it
